First, let's look at what a
real Christian is "not" - according to the Word of God.

A real Christian is not someone who goes to church regularly. Going to
church is fine, but church attendance no more makes one a Christian, than
being in a garage makes an automobile a car

A real Christian is not someone who keeps the Ten Commandments, the Golden
Rule, or some other set of standards (no one can keep them anyway!).

A real Christian is not someone who is just a "real nice person".
Someone that helps everyone and is just a pleasure to be around.

Question. Why are the above not "Christians"?

To answer that, let's discover what a real Christian is.

A real Christian is: (We will add scripture to the following for your
understanding.)

A person who, at some point in their life, realized that he\she is a
sinner. In other words, a realization that you have fallen short of God's
holiness by sinning against his holiness.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

2 A person who not only came to the realization of their own
sin, but also to the understanding that there was nothing in themselves
capable of making things right with God. Not religion, reformation, good
works, charitable acts or even "loving our neighbor as ourselves".
(You don't do that anyway. (:-)) A complete awareness of your own hopelessness
and helplessness.

Psalms 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become
filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

3 A person who, believing the gospel, willingly accepts the payment
that Jesus Christ made for their sin at Calvary - shedding his own
blood, - and by receiving that sacrifice ALONE for the payment of their sin,
receives Jesus Christ as their own personal Saviour. The entire transaction
taking place by faith, that is, by believing what God said in his Word. There
is nothing else to do. Physically eating a host or some other substitute for
the gospel is simply a cheap imitation, and CANNOT SAVE ANYONE. A real
Christian is simply someone who is trusting solely and completely in the shed
blood of Jesus Christ and his payment for your sin. He was your substitute and
died in your place.

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
